Cardinals Suffer Ninth Straight Home Loss Against Lions

The Arizona Cardinals experienced a significant defeat on Sunday, losing 45-21 to the Detroit Lions, which marked their franchise-record ninth consecutive home loss. Following the game, head coach Mike LaFleur was questioned about the possibility of changing quarterbacks.

LaFleur emphasized that quarterback Jacoby Brissett was not the issue, stating that the team's overall performance was lacking and that he bears responsibility for the shortcomings. The Cardinals, who started the season with a win against the Chargers, have now lost four straight games, with their last home victory occurring on September 14, 2025.

Looking ahead, the Cardinals will face the Rams in Los Angeles next week, followed by a home game against the Broncos. Their upcoming schedule includes matches against the Cowboys and Seahawks, with a potential challenging stretch that could see their record fall to 1-10 before facing the Commanders in Week 12. With a bye week not scheduled until Week 14, a quarterback switch to rookie Carson Beck may be considered to assess future options.
